Verse 1
From the choking fog, like a demon of the sea,
Her blackened hull rose, a cursed decree.
Lightning split the heavens, the cannons roared,
Queen Anne’s Revenge unleashed death’s accord.
Her sails were tattered, her masts scorched with flame,
As fire lit the night and men screamed his name.
The harbor was chaos—boats shattered and sank,
The devil’s own crew laughed as they drank.
Explosions ripped through the docks with a crack,
The skeleton flag waved; no soul could fight back.
Blackbeard stood tall as flames licked his beard,
A specter of doom; all who saw him feared.
[, Electric Guitar with Distortion]
Chorus
Blackbeard’s curse, a terror untamed,
A legend forged in fire and pain.
[Mandolin, Drums]
Verse 2
“Let us make a hell o’ our own,” he bellowed loud,
In the hold o’ his ship, where brimstone did cloud.
His crew fled in terror; Blackbeard stood tall,
Emergin’ unscathed, like a demon from the fall.
The sea grew heavy with whispers o’ dread,
As sailors cried out for their lives to be spared.
Invincible in battle, they said he couldn’t die—
Even as bullets pierced him and blades ran high.

Verse 3
They say he made a pact with the devil himself,
Trading his soul for power and wealth.
His flag bore symbols of death and despair—
A horned skeleton with an hourglass to spare.
The Queen Anne’s Revenge was no ordinary ship;
She sailed like a ghost on her murderous trip.
Her cannons roared as if possessed by hell’s might,
And Blackbeard ruled through terror and fright.
[, Electric Guitar with Reverb]
Bridge (Spoken or sung with eerie tones)
“Beware Teach’s Hole,” the sailors cry at night—
For Blackbeard’s ghost still haunts its light.
His headless body swims through the waves—
A cursed soul that no grave can save.
Strange lights flicker on Ocracoke’s shore;
Some hear him roaring forevermore:
“Where is me head? Where is me crown?”
The legend o’ Blackbeard still drags men down.
[Mandolin, Drums]
Verse 4
The harbor burned bright as ships turned to ash,
Blackbeard laughed loud at each thunderous crash.
His crew sang songs of plunder and sin—
A pirate king reveling in chaos within.
But fate intervened with treacherous sands;
The Queen Anne’s Revenge met her final stand.
She sank to her grave by her captain’s hand—
Yet Blackbeard lived on to command
Blackbeard has Arrived with black magic in hand
